Chapter 29 Ketchup
The restaurant was in a mess, food scraps fell to the floor, chairs that should have been useful were destroyed. The fight ended with Seria's victory, and it was Seraph's last bite. Seraph put down his fork and spoon and looked at Wang Lo, wondering what the big man would do. [The outcome must have been known. This man was likely weaker than that woman. To prevent exertion after eating, he wanted to sit still, but he had to think about what to do next.] "The fight is over. Do you want to start?" Seraph's cold gaze stared at Wang Lo, wondering what to do.
Wang Lo raised both hands to indicate that he would give up. "No, I'm not in the same group as those people. I'm the one who sneaked in here, so don't attack yet." Seria walked over and analyzed Wang Lo. "Hmm, hmm, hmm. Wait a minute. I seem to have an idea. Why do you have the red sign? Did you secretly leave it outside the shop? To send a signal. And maybe this person has something to do here. Come on, who are you signaling? I checked that sign, nothing is certain, it means it's a symbol of... Uh... Please tell me, I can't think of any more possibilities, it's a signal. „
Wang Lo nodded and looked at Asami who was lying unconscious. "The woman you knocked unconscious, that person and my target, I came to hide to find clues about what this group of people are doing. „ Seria analyzed heavily, looking at Seraph with haste in her thoughts before Seraph gave the answer. [Hurry up Seria before Seraph's brother reveals.] Pewrei quickly looked around and saw people unconscious all over the floor. "They're unconscious on the floor...? I remember now, this is the clue. „
Seria quickly ran towards the kitchen. [I get it, my brother secretly revealed it again, because my brother dared to finish all the food, it meant that the anesthetic wasn't on the plate, but on the plate of this group of men. The question is, who could put the anesthetic in the food? One receptionist, two kitchen staff. Almost overlooked the clues. ] Seria opened the door and saw Jia Yi showing a shocked expression. [This kid was able to defeat the Ashaman, there's no escape.] Seria smiled happily. [Heh heh, this is the one who gave the clues.] Seraph waved for Jia Yi to follow him. "Please follow me. We're going to investigate your secrets. " Seria walked towards Seraph without hurrying, while Jia Yi walked with her head hanging down like she was walking into a slaughterhouse.
Seraph still sat still, not thinking of anything to do. [In the end, what should I do? I don't know how to start. 100% luck system. Please tell me the next plan. Right now, my mind can't think of anything.] Seraph was waiting for the line of luck to appear. Seria walked over and sat on the chair in front of Seraph, while Jia Yi stood helplessly. Seraph looked at the man in front of him to see what he was doing here. [What did he do again? Another character has been added.] "What about this man?"
Seria quickly spoke after Seraph asked. "Alright, this is the question. Is the person who fainted there your work? „ Seria looked at the big man lying on the ground due to the effects of the anesthetic.
Jia Yi nodded helplessly. If she could deny it, it would be better to just answer honestly. [If I deny it, will you believe me?] "Yes, the person who fainted there was my work. „
"Then what's the reason? Why did you do that? „
"I picked up the wrong bottle and seasoning powder. That's why it happened. „
Seria nodded obediently. [You don't want to tell me, do you? Whatever happens, it doesn't matter. The important thing is the secret location.] "Now, is there a map of this village? „
Wang Luo walked over and stood in front of the table, picking up some papers. "I have one. It was something I secretly took from this woman. „
Seria took it and spread out the map to look at it. [Now, the next step is to identify the base of this group, huh?] Seraph put his hand on the table and picked up a plate. [It's better to prevent the cups and bowls from getting dirty on the map. It's weird to put it on the floor.] Seria looked at Jia Yi. "Now, what's your name? What's your occupation here? So I can call you correctly. „
Jia Yi quickly replied. "My name is Jia Yi. I work as a chef here. „
"Then, can you, Jia Yi, point out where the base is?" „
Jia Yi shook her head nervously, because she didn't know anything. [You can ask me. I'm a chef. How would I know about the secret base? I must be in the kitchen.]
Seria started looking around again. [There must be some clues. I have to think from the beginning about what happened...] The event was extremely quiet like a graveyard because the four of them did not know what to do until time passed.
Seraph who was lifting the food plate started to get tired from holding the plate. [I thought they would talk for a bit. Even though it was a bit wrong to put it on the floor, but holding it like this, it would be tiring if the story did not progress. I will sit and listen comfortably. I ask permission to put the plate on the floor.] Seraph moved the plate a little. The fork in the plate that had the remaining food left over, the fork fell on the paper on the map with a loud thud! The fork bounced to the floor helplessly with a loud bang! Seria turned to look at Seraph. [What happened? The fork fell on its own?] Seria looked at the map and saw the sauce from the fork dragging the map with a dot near the mountain. There was a line of red ketchup that was cutting through the mountain. Seria looked at Seraph suspiciously and looked at the map.
Seraph turned to look at Wang Lo together with Seria. [Sorry, I didn't think the fork would slip. It's probably not a big deal.] Seraph was about to utter an apology when his mouth opened slightly and he heard Seria shout. "Wait a minute...! Wait, big brother Seraph knows everything. If you know, don't say it out loud." Seria suddenly thought of something and looked at a map covered in ketchup and a muscular person lying unconscious from the effects of the anesthesia. [The mountain is being split into two by ketchup or something. I get it. So this is how it is. The big man here is going to dig a hole in the mountain to create a secret passage somewhere. So he must have a lot of strength. There must be some treasure in this mountain.] "The goal is known. These people are planning to dig the mountain to find something in the mountain. That's why they need someone with high strength. And another thing, it's possible that after they use up the unconscious person, that woman might kill them to silence them by preparing the anesthesia. Even now, they can take care of the people here. Plus, no one is careful except for you. So, according to what Seria thought, there must be something in the mountain with the ketchup. How is it, are these brothers and sisters quite skilled? „ Seria wanted to praise Seraph. Seraph nodded in agreement. [Sigh... Why did it turn out like this? From having a meal with peace of mind, it turned into investigating the case curiously. It probably didn't mean that she had to travel to this mountain. The distance was no joke.] "Hmm, great. Are you really going here? It's dangerous, Seria?" Seria nodded confidently. "Of course. If my brother doesn't follow, Seria can go by herself with the other two. So, I definitely won't go home so easily if I don't clear this up. „ Seria prepared to go to the mountain. Seraph started to think about Serin's face when she saw him return home alone, with an angry expression. Returning alone meant that Seraph secretly left his sister somewhere. [Fine, it's fine to return a little late. I wanted to say that I'll leave it to this man with a big body, but it probably wouldn't be possible. I think I'll be back in time.] "Alright, when it gets dark, we'll start heading back immediately. Tomorrow, we'll go back to the same place again. As for the people who are unconscious here, hold onto your fists. There will be four of us. Is that okay?"
"It's definitely like this...." Seria showed her joy.
Wang Luo nodded. [These two kids are definitely reliable. Even though it's embarrassing to rely on two kids, it can't be helped.]
Jia Yi refused wholeheartedly. [I refuse.] "I'll go with you."
